A 56-year-old man has sought care because the automated blood pressure machine in his pharmacy indicated a blood pressure reading of 146/96 mm Hg. He has said to the nurse, My pressure has never been this high.
 
  Will I need to take medication to reduce it? Which of the following responses by the nurse would be best?
  A) Yes. Hypertension is prevalent among males; it's fortunate we caught this during your routine examination.
